We lost; yet couldst thou deem it best
If thou and ! had never met?
Had never known the wild regret;
Our hearts been formed to soon forget:
Had never shed those scorching tears,
That dimmed our eyes, and aged our years,
And wrecked our souls unknowing rest?
We lost: vet we're il wise or wen
If never we had known or cared?
If ne'er orr souls wealth had been barred,
And al our veal and woe been spared?
If never oar two souls had run
Their course care free. then blent as one?
Maybap 'twere best. cannot tell
We lost: yet all the grief and woe,
The h!i-bted years of care and pain,
Hopes that ike hedge bound leaves have lain
Along my path the strife 50 vain,
The bliss 50 distant as to seem
But a. the fabric Of dream.
My soul deep treasures. That know!

What Fruits Resemble.

The cocoanut is III many respects like
the human skull, although it closely re
sembles the skull of the monkey y
sponge may be So held as to remind one
of the unfieshed face of the skeleton. and
the meat of an English walnut is almost
the exact representation of the BRAIN.
Plums and black cherries resemble the
human ewes: almonds and some other
nuts resemble the different varieties of
the human nose, and an open oyster and
its shell are a perfect image of the human
ear.
The shape of almost any mans body
may lie found in the various kinds of
mammoth pumpkins. The open hand
NAV be dscerned in the form assumed
by scrub willows and growing celery.
The German turnip and the egg plant
resemble the human heart There are
other striking resemblances between hui
man organs and certain vegetable forms.
The forms of many mechanical contriv-
ances in common use may be traced back
to the patterns furnished by nature.
Thus, the hog suggested the plow; the
butterfly, the ordinary hinge; the toad
stool, the umbrella; the duck, the ship;
the fungous growth ON trees, the bracket.
Any one DESTROYS of proving the oneness
of the earthly system will find the re-
semblance in nature an amusing study,
